This screen is very adequate for the money. Like has been mentioned it is somewhat transparent, but is enough to provide some privacy. I use it for guest to afford some privacy for sleeping accomodations, which works very well. I purchased the rosewood frame which is very nice and blends well with other wood tones. All in all, for the price and the exceptional delivery time (ordered on a Sunday, delivered Tuesday) this is definitely worth the money. A very good value.
